• Spring Synopsis

This course is offered each Spring semester, and is intended primarily for life science majors. It counts as Lab credit. Other students with background knowledge in Cell biology may also take this course. Prerequisites: Fundamentals of Cell and Developmental Biology (01:146:270) or Essentials of Cell Biology and Neuroscience (01:146:295) or equivalent courses. This course offers a comprehensive exploration of advanced imaging techniques essential for studying tissues, cells, and organelles in the life sciences. Through a blend of lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions, students will be introduced to a diverse array of methodologies, enabling them to investigate biological structures across various scales, ranging from molecules to organisms. The course will cover a spectrum of imaging modalities, including conventional light microscopy, fluorescent microscopy, cutting-edge high-resolution light microscopy, and image analysis modalities.

• Fall & Spring Synopsis

Physiology according to American Physiological Society is the study of life. Physiological studies of normal function provide the basis to understanding abnormal function- at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ and whole animal levels.  In this context, Systems Physiology will help students understand body functions and their regulation at the organ systems level (mammals including humans). This course can be used to satisfy the elective requirement of the CBN major.

Prerequisites: General Biology I and II (01:119:115-116), General Chemistry (01:160:161-162) or Honors General Chemistry (01:160:163-164), and Intro Experimentation (01:160:171). Credit not given for both this course and Integrative Physiology (11:067:300).
